difference with aprilaire 210 filter
591
this is the recommended brand for our system so I'm not going to try any other brand.

The 210 has a MERV rating of 210 and the 213 has a MERV rating of 213. The higher the rating the better it will filter small particles.

There is no visible difference. It will line up perfectly with your old plumbing. You will need to retain you discharge fitting and your intake fitting as the new filter does not include these parts.

The GE filters are slightly different. B&D;'s can be pushed in a little but they won't filter as well.

Not sure but, I think the "A Filter" refers to the fact that it is only ONE filter but my husband cuts them in half and so you can actually get two usable filters from one box. This is the first time we ordered the "A PLUS FILTER" which refers to the fact that it is supposed to be more odor reducing and stronger somehow. My husband says he does not notice a difference but I think I do. So we will keep buying this version.

I own both and the are essentially identical except in one aspect. They are the same size and capacity and made with the same parts and electronic controls. This difference is that the 700, that I bought 9 years ago, included a special KF antimicrobial filter in it that is not mentioned in the new 220. It obviously cut the mfr's cost but has no impact on the softening ability of the unit that I've now owned a few months, running flawlessly. Very easy to install and set-up so long as you provide the in and out plumbing.

That size filter fits my father's which is the APR45130L and I bought both it and the pre-filters with the unit. Works fine for him.

There are 2 filters. The outer filter is pleated measuring 9 1/2 X 16 1/2 X 2 inches. The inner filter is is "sock" type and is stated to trap dust down to 1 micron. The manual says both filters can be cleaned several times before they need replacing. I would discourage using a furnace type filter because they are not designed to filter dust down to the low particle size required to filter properly. Using such would most likely saturate the inner filter very quickly and could cause motor overload.

I think the main differences are a better filter and digital controls. But you can do a comparison on their website to make sure.

I think the only difference is the color...I do not like the Starkey filters. They are too small and plug up quickly. Just sayin'

Check with the Aprilaire website. They have a customer service phone number.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

Yes. I was confused by the picture of the filter too. The AC5000 unit (black, silver control area, blue UV light tower unit) used to use 2 filters "pushed together" on top of each other, but now it seems to be a single filter and more expensive too! Yikes!Hope this helps.

Both the Aprilaire 500A and the American Standard HUM200 use a filter which is approximately 9.5"X10.0"X1.5". So in theory this filter should be compatible with the American Standard humidifier. Darrell

It is slightly smaller but if your AHU is like mine there is the standard filter slot next to the Aprilaire unit to catch anything that might get by this one. Ease of installation makes this a winner

The 6300 has an extra level of filtration. I just can't spell out the details for you. Just read the product description for each model and it should be clear. Good luck....Marie Cappola

If you go to the manufacturers website and find that model# for the spec page where they will list a part number for the filter. I believe that there is one filter for most of the models (especially in a series like the Architectural Series etc.

When my Aprilaire unit was first installed, I was instructed to change the filter every 6 months. However, the last few times my furnace/air conditioner was serviced, the serviceman suggest that it be changed only once a year. As noted on previous posts, a lot depends on your location, i.e. if you live in a dusty area or a place that has a lot of air pollution, and whether or not you have a lot of pets. The best thing to do, I suppose, is to check the filter every six months. It will be easy to tell whether the filter needs to be changed. I also keep an extra filter on hand for future use. I hope this helps. When my Aprilaire unit was first installed, I was instructed to change the filter every 6 months.
